No Heart is the primary villain of Nelvana's The Care Bears Family television series, where he fights the Care Bears together with his minion Beastly.

He has a niece named Shreeky, whose shrieks have the power to transform him into an animal, and he has no control over it happening. He lives in his castle inside a storm cloud, and rarely ever leaves it.

Appearance

Care Bears Family
His face is never visible, since he is always wearing a hood, and he never takes it off on camera. He also wears a purple and red coloured robe. It is unknown what or if he wears anything under it. His arms and eyebrows are of an unnatural greenish-blue coloration. Only in one episode, in that series with Shreeky, you can see he is wearing purple shoes, in a short scene.

Care Bears Comics

In the comics, No Heart looks different than in the the TV series. Nearly all of the colors of his body and clothing are different, they even vary in different comics.

Personality

He is an evil sorcerer and shapeshifter who commands a lot of magic spells. His goal is to destroy both the Care Bears and all caring in the world from his home (since he rarely likes to go out), which rests atop a perpetual storm cloud. He wants to get rid of caring, and according to one episode, this is to make it easier for him to take over the world.

He is almost always mad or irritable or even very angry, an example of this is when Grumpy dared to stand in his way, and in Birthday Bear's Blues began wrecking the equipment of his cauldron room in a fury after his defeat at the hands of the Care Bears and their laughter.

He is fairly dark and serious for a care bears character, as in Birthday Bear's Blues, as he comments that he will be having "lamb-chops" after he is turned into a tiger in the maze and has locatedGentle Heart Lamb, implying he planned on actually eating her.

Abilities

Like any sorcerer, he can use magic.

No Heart specializes in transformation and shapeshifting as his most prominent magic spells.

In episode Grumpy's Three Wishes, his magic allows him to transform into several animals and even destroy a rainbow.

He also commands his dark Shadows, and it is implied that he may have created them, as he mentions it in one episode.

Equipment

History

His life before the events in the television series is virtually unknown. However, it is implied that he's been terrorizing the Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins for a long period of time, since he scared away the Pandas when they were cubs.

Comic Series

No Heart: looking weird in the comics

No Heart makes several appearances in Star Comics' Care Bears comic book series, where he tries to make the Care Bears look bad, with replacing them with evil minded knock-offs.

There are also several other stories, one featuring another 80's toyline: The Madballs.

Trivia

In the episode "The Long Lost Care Bears", it is said that Perfect and Polite Panda ran away from Care-a-Lot as cubs because they were frightened of No Heart. This shows he may actually be one of the oldest Care Bear villains.
